Overall, my stay at The Cliffs Hotel and Spa was largely enjoyable thanks to the beautiful ocean views and accommodating staff. However, the dated room layout and power issues during my visit detracted from the experience. The restaurant served excellent food, but in-room dining was disappointing due to kitchen renovations. The location stunningly overlooks the cliffs, making it feel like a true coastal getaway. 🌊✨

I had a wonderful stay at The Cliffs Hotel and Spa, enjoying the gorgeous ocean views and excellent service from staff like Anna and Eduardo. However, I found the refrigerator in my room far too small for extended stays, and the lack of a microwave made it difficult to manage meals comfortably. Despite these minor setbacks, the beautiful surroundings and relaxing atmosphere truly made my getaway nice.
